Information James C. would like to know about your pet

I understand it is important to stick to the pet's routine as much as possible. This includes feeding times, exercise, potty breaks and any medical regiment if applicable. If your pet needs medicine administered with a needle I am willing to have you show me what your procedure is, so that I may copy it. I’ll always make sure to keep you updated on how your furry friend is doing and alert you to any issues that arise. I also respond promptly to any messages or calls in case you may have questions or have forgotten an important detail. Performing pet care duties can be a big responsibility, and I appreciate the value of being prepared and knowledgeable. PS; the listed repeat customer quantity is not a proper representation, for I have clientele that I did not meet using this platform.

A typical day

A typical day in dog care really depends on the needs of the dog in question. What drives them? What do they care about? Basically my typical day as whatever your dog’s typical day is, as needed.

Pet care experience

I am a 37 year old army veteran, and I have been more passionate about animals than I am about humans for as long as I can remember! I’ve befriended many animals in my life. I have done more extended-stay house/animal sitting adventures than I can count! I also tend to be a fan favorite of my various family and friends animals. Sometimes they try to follow me home! Lol

James was incredibly caring and responsible. We have a female dog on hospice- she is dying from cancer. She was also in heat during his stay- and he did not mind either of those problems. He gave her meds and made sure she ate (even though she did not want to). He communicated well. I am sure he would have been a superb caregiver if her time to pass would had come while we were away. He stayed at our house, leaving everything clean and tidy. Recommend.

James was great with our fur babies. He was attentive and sent us some fabulous photos! He contacted us with questions as needed. Our home was in great shape when we returned. Much like we never left.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
